Ed. / B. Ed. (Special Education)/ D. Ed. (Special Education). The materials being presented have been developed on the basis of the guidelines and syllabus of the NCTE. Care has been taken to make the presentation flawless and in perfect conformity with the guidelines of the NCTE. Lesson-units and activities given here are not exhaustive. Trainee-teachers are at liberty to plan & develop their own knowledge and skills through self learning under the guidance of the counselors and use of their previously acquired knowledge and skill of teaching. This humble effort will be prized, if the materials, developed here in this Course-book, are used by the teachers in the real classroom situations for the development of the four skills – Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing of the elementary school children .

They provide emotional, intellectual and creative enrichment and contribute a lot to the child’s holistic development. Thus a society is developed through a variety of art forms which contribute to cultural ethos and to a sense of well-being. Art education enables the child to explore alternative ways of communicating with others. Art education is integral 1 to elementary education in helping to promote thinking, imagination and sensitivity and the art activities can be a focus for social and cultural development and enjoyment in school.
